ORDERUP is a Kiosk app designed specifically to drive up the average guest check size at quick-service and table-service restaurants while improving customer service and reducing the staff stress that comes with fast-pace environments. The user-friendly design of the app allows customers to easily and quickly browse the menu, view pictures and detailed descriptions of each item, and place orders via a flow that pops up attractive modifiers (free and paid options) in order to encourage customers to spend more and leave even more gratuity/tip to the staff thanks to the faster and more convenient setup. The ORDERUP kiosk can be configured on an iPad Mini at every table, on iPad Pro in front of each fast-casual counter line, on a regular-size iPad at the To-Go counter, or any setup that best suits the restaurant. Each iPad can be linked to an EMV Chip Card reader for quick payment processing and gratuity/tip configuration. ORDERUP costs $25/month/terminal which comes with a free 15-Day Trial period (no credit card required), free configuration/setup service, free employee training, free 24/7 phone/chat/email support, as well as the free sister app INCOMING that can be placed at the counter next to an existing POS or used in the kitchen as a KDS app to view all incoming orders from the ORDERUP Kiosk. ORDERUP also fully integrates with the SalesVu POS app for restaurants who are looking to transition from their existing POS to a modern iPad POS system. For more information please open the app and touch the Chat icon, or email support@salesvu.com.
